Ohio Valley History: A premier tourism destination
Rizer
The last few weeks, my articles have covered the changes in Mason County’s economy over the last two hundred years. First, it was purely agriculture, a mix of small farms and large slave plantations. Then, in the 1840s, industry rose to dominance as salt, coal, and machinery pulled labor from the farms to the towns. This continued well into the modern era, with our industry supporting half a dozen war efforts.
But today, with industry generally on the decline, the question on quite a few people’s minds is where to look next. What will bring new jobs to Mason County? What will keep our young people here? What will generate real revenue to support our schools and roads? It’s simple, really. Tourism.
